One way to make chain management more sustainable is 'Predictive Maintenance'. The purpose of this preventive maintenance is to replace the components of a machine at the right time, before it reaches the end of its lifespan. When done correctly, preventive maintenance is more efficient than corrective maintenance.

The use of sensors plays an increasingly important role in this. A sensor is used to measure the status of a component over a period of time. With this collected data, trends can then be identified in order to determine the lifespan of a component and therefore find out when this component should ideally be replaced. One way to make the 'Life Cycle' more sustainable is to optimize Predictive Maintenance, which can limit maintenance costs.

The Predictive Maintenance Online knowledge week will take place on September 23 & 24, 2020. Click here for the current information on the website
